LYRICS

Bachman Turner Overdrive - Down And Out Man Had a widow down in Boston You know she really trusted me Then I ran away to Cleveland From a brand new bride-to-be Held a preacher's plate in Memphis On a dark cold Sunday night By Tuesday was in Alabam' Showing people how to do it right I'm a down and out man Guess you wonder why I am I'm a down and out man Guess you wonder why I am Tried to boogie in a honky-tonk But my old guitar was out of tune That's when they didn't like my music So they tried to throw me out the room I was living in a funky world They were living in three four time All my friends are into rock and roll Or they ain't no friends of mine I'm a down and out man Guess you wonder why I am I'm a down and out man Guess you wonder why I am (Down and out man) (Guess you wonder why I am) I'm a down and out man Guess you wonder why I am I'm a down and out man Guess you wonder why I am (Down and out man) (Guess you wonder why I am) I'm a down and out man Guess you wonder why I am I'm a down and out man Guess you wonder why I am
